1. Steak for two at Wood on Tuesdays
If you’ve been eyeing up Wood for a while, wondering what special occasion to get some of the finest food in the city, Tuesday’s at the restaurant are hoping to tempt meat lovers.

If you have the stomach size for it, you can stick around at Wood for another night and get their Winesday offer of unlimited wine and 3 courses for just shy of £40 a person.
